Well... I am really really praying this is not another dress rehearsal.. Contractions have been coming strong for an hour averaging 3-4 minutes apart... enough that some bring tears to my eyes. Dear God let this be it...

Well, it's been almost 3 hours, and you haven't updated. I am hoping this means you have a beautiful baby in your arms.

Checking in... no baby yet... still laboring. *cries*

Contractions weren't strong enough last night even though they were coming every 3-4 minutes... around midnight they finally started lasting a minute long, but were only coming every 6 minutes... I passed out between 5 am and 6 am and was woken by a wicked strong contraction that lasted at least a minute and a half to two minutes...

I got back up and they were only lasting 30 seconds again... only recently have they gone back up to lasting a minute long but they are only coming every 10 minutes.

Please tell me I won't be in labor forever.

Awe, I'm sorry you have to deal with this! I promise you won't be in labor forever! I hope you can find a way to get some rest (and stay hydrated!)

Drinking strictly water and gatorade... was able to doze off for another hour when I was woken with another really strong longer lasting contraction...

This is the longest day of my life.

Finally balancing out some... 7 minutes apart, lasting over a minute for the past hour... Getting there...

Of course it's been icing for awhile, so if I get to where I need to be the ride to the hospital will be fun!

Poor JSMa! I'm hoping you're having your baby right now, if you haven't already!

Ice here too, and I've been contracting every ten minutes or so (AGAIN) for the past few hours, so DH salted the driveway and we're hoping for the best.
